Two new things are happening today…

1.  I’ve Started Making Recipe Videos (hopefully this is the first of many to come, yay!)

2. My New Green Thickie recipes will be Lower Sugar, Lower Carb, Higher fat, fat Burning Machines!

Sounds good?

OK so, what’s new?

I am applying more of a ketogenic/paleo approach to my diet lately which means I’ve lowered my carbs, upped my fat as I am in healing mode right now.

And it’s working.  Every day I feel better and better and I’m pretty sure I’ll be back to normal soon.

Many healing diets focus on lowering sugar even natural sugar and that’s exactly what I’m doing too.

I am hesitant to call these ‘low carb’ because when most people go on a low carb ketogenic diet they end up eating 20 carbs or less each day – and I personally think that’s way too low.

The focus of all meals in my opinion should be an abundance of veggies or some fruit so that your body gets enough fiber and your digestion functions properly.

Without a fully functioning digestive tract, your colon is going to get clogged and this is the cause of a lot of disease in the body.

So veggies are essential!

So let’s not ever limit veggies.

But saying that – there are definitely lower carb veggies that we can eat in abundance like leafy greens which just happen to be a powerhouse of nutrients and contain very little carbs and calories – win win.

So, in my opinion almost all meals should include leafy greens.

And it just so happens that you can’t taste them at all in Green Thickies which is pretty impressive.

So how else have I changed my Green Thickies?

I am including less sugary fruit and sometimes no fruit at all, more fat and similar amounts of protein.

Believe it or not, contrary to what we’ve been told – fat burns fat.

Low fat makes us crazy and sick.

Good quality fats from real food such as avocado and nuts are essential for good health and a fast metabolism.

So that’s why this high fat smoothie is actually a fat burning machine.

And it also includes two energy boosting ingredients, cacao and peppermint.

If you replace your breakfast with this smoothie you’ll be zinging and singing all day.

Not to mention your clothes will be getting looser.

With no further ado, here is my recipe video for the Peppermint Chocolate Green Thickie.

You will find the full recipe in this video.
